My son & I were talking about peanut butter as part of a "would you eat rice crispy treats made with peanut butter instead of marshmallows" conversation.
He tells me he hates peanut butter..... he eats a peanut butter and jelly sandwich at least 4 days week during the school.
Then he says "I hate Reeses."
Somehow, he has only eaten peanut butter in a Reeses candy & in a pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwich which he assumes is unique... while all other peanut butter must be like that that dry stuff in a candy.
My mind was blown. I had him watch as I skimmed a spoon across the top of a jar. He still didn't try it but it was a step closer.
For once he had a legit reason not to want to eat a food.
